Human Resources - Training and Development - Certified Public Manager Program
Developing today's public leaders through CPM
In an effort to maintain Iowa's high level of commitment to its citizens, the State of Iowa, in partnership with Drake University, offers a nationally accredited Certified Public Manager (CPM) program.
CPM is an intensive learning experience designed for supervisors, managers, executives, management staff, and project managers from federal, state, county, and local governments. The program includes discussion, traditional classroom experiences, and on-line learning. Participants also complete one job-related team project, which gives them the opportunity to apply theories, principles, and/or techniques learned in the CPM program to a situation, problem, concern, or opportunity in a public organization.
Notices:
Enrollment is closed for CPM Cohort 9 beginning on January, 22 2008. Applications will now be accepted for CPM Cohort 10, scheduled to begin in July 15, 2008.
Read the November Newsletter from PDS for answers to these common questions:
- What about the time commitment?
- I manage a program, not people. Would I get anything out of the program?
- How is this going to really benefit my organization?
- I already have my Master's degree. Why would I want to do CPM too?
- The cost seems high. Are there any payment plans available?
